Modes
The inductar CS cube is optimized for simultaneous carbon and sulfur analysis. The following modes are available:CS mode
The CS mode offers simultaneous carbon and sulfur analysis. It can either come with an automated sampler option with 89 sample positions or a manual sampler option with 2 sample positions.
Analytical specifications
Analysis method
High-temperature-combustion in pure oxygen atmosphere at above 2,000 °C, followed by purification of the analytical gas flow and subsequent gas analysis. CS-analysis is done according to ISO 15350, ASTM E1019 and further international standards.
Linear single/multipoint calibration
You, as the instrument operator, will be guided through the calibration by an intuitive calibration assistant. The transparently calculated calibration is editable and storable. Furthermore, templates can be stored for future calibrations. The calibration is linear and stable for months.
Different sample feeding options
The inductar CS cube offers the choice from an automated sampler with 89 sample positions as well as a manual sampler with 2 sample positions.
Dimensions
With manual sampler: 607 x 628 x 860 mm (W x D x H)
With autosampler: 607 x 628 x 1045 mm (W x D x H)

Clean and safe analysis
The innovative crucible design, together with a top-down oxygen gas stream, minimizes any dust inside the system. Furthermore, splattering of sample melt is prevented, which assures a virtually unlimited lifetime of the combustion tube.
Easy sample preparation and handling
All kinds of solid samples are weighed into ceramic sample containers (sample mass up to 1 g). No sample preparation needed. Additional additives might be required, depending on the sample material.
Large concentration range
From 1 ppm up to 100 % element content. This means 60 mg carbon or 5 mg sulfur absolute.
Only few operational requirements
The instrument requires only 628 mm x 607 mm of your laboratory working space and only needs one electrical connection and one operating gas for maintenance-free, long-term operation. No external cooling or vacuum cleaner required.
Full automation
Automated and unattended operation is possible with the integrated 89 position autosampler and PC-control through Windows®. Furthermore, optional 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software is available.
Options
Optical camera
The optical camera indulive is available for observation of the combustion process.
Lab furnace
We recommend preheating the ceramic crucibles prior to combustion analysis. Especially when low carbon concentrations should be detected, clean and blank-free crucibles are needed. For this preheating step we offer several lab furnaces from leading manufacturers.
Electronic analytical balance
Balance and elemental analyzer form a system. We offer convenient analytical balances from the leading manufacturers with our instruments. Automatic weight transfer from balance to software is possible.
Halogen trap
Halogens from halogen containing samples have a major influence on the quantitative detection of carbon and sulfur. Thus, we optionally offer halogen traps for chlorine (intrap-Cl) and fluorine (intrap-F) for best measuring results.
Increased efficiency: Reliable, unattended 24/7 analyses
- Adaptable to your requirements with two different autosampler options.
- Unattended 24/7 high-throughput operation possible due to the fully automated 89-position autosampler in combination with the auto sleep and wake-up function as well as the event-monitoring of the software.
- Smooth, reliable analyses overnight save time and increase your sample throughput.
Reduced time requirements: Minimal cleaning efforts due to efficient design
- Extremely clean combustion with minimized contamination of dust and debris thanks to intelligent gas flow, high ceramic crucibles and a heated dust filter.
- No vacuum cleaner needed.
- Low cleaning efforts for components like combustion tube and dust filter.
- Saves time, reduces costs and leads to more accurate measurement results.
Full process control: Monitor combustion via camera
- Visual monitoring of the combustion process with the integrated camera indulive.
- Provides additional indications about the quality of the combustion.
- Observation of the sample combustion in real time on the monitor.
Comfortable, fast analyses: Easy handling & low maintenance
- Extremely durable due to the modern solid-state induction furnace and high-quality materials.
- Replacement of aging oscillator tubes is not necessary.
- Fast maintenance thanks to clearly arranged, easily accessible system components and the tool-free clamp connections.
- Easy monitoring of the service life of reagents at a glance thanks to clearly visible colored indicators.
Maximized sample flexibility: Detection of the whole concentration range
- The inductar® CS cube detects the whole concentration range of carbon and sulfur thanks to the use of wide-range infrared (IR) detectors.
- Little concentrations in the low ppm-range as well as higher concentrations of several weight percent’s are detectable. This maximizes the sample variety you can measure with the instrument.
Suits in every lab: Only small space & minimal operational requirements needed
- The instrument’s extremely compact dimensions of only 628 mm x 607 mm need only little room and save laboratory working space.
- Minimal operation requirements, only one electrical connection and one operating gas needed.
- No external cooling or vacuum cleaner needed.
